Thank you very much for your message. I think the new Feb 2001 distribution doesn't use the large version. Look at the code extract from options.h: #define SMALL_HUGS 0 #define REGULAR_HUGS 0 #define LARGE_HUGS 0 If I understand it correctly LARGE_HUGS should normally be defined as 1 so that the large version is used by default. I can confirm that changing NUM_FIXUPS to 1000 solves my problem because I used Feb 2001 distribution with the modified hugs.exe Karl M. Syring sent me and the interpreter is working fine. Christian

I installed the new Feb 2001 distribution and I saw that NUM_FIXUPS with value 1000 is only possible for large version of hugs interpreter. It would be great if I could get this version because the standard interpreter only has a NUM_FIXUPS of 400 and so I get the error message "Compiled code too complex".

Almost every machine in existence uses the large version so I'm a bit surprised by this report. Can you confirm:

a) That your machine _does not_ use the large version. (Look at the values of SMALL_HUGS, REGULAR_HUGS and LARGE_HUGS in hugs98/src/options.h)

b) That changing NUM_FIXUPS to 1000 fixes your problem.

If you are indeed using the regular version, is there any reason why you can't use the large version?
